  Abstract:
  ====================
  Multisensory feedback, including haptic and auditory feedback, is often overlooked in interactive and contact-rich scenarios in the studies with both humans and robots, such as writing on the back of an envelope with a pen or grasping a block in a Jenga game. In this work, I focus on three perspectives related to the multisensory feedback in touch interactions: (1) Analysis – how to extract useful and interpretable features from multisensory feedback; (2) Synthesis – how to simulate realistic virtual feedback; and (3) Perception – how humans and robots respond to the feedback. I explore these perspectives through tasks of texture sound modeling, haptic texture design, large-scale texture classification, and state-aware robot sensing and manipulation. With these tasks, the objective is to enhance the interactive experience in virtual reality, improve the understanding of crossmodal relationships, and complement visual and tactile sensing in challenging robot manipulation tasks.
